So long as it does not make the Dark Ritual cannon, has very little to do with Morrigan or allows the player to relegate anything to do with Morrigan as irelevant, I will consider that a win.

Actually I am placing my money Dragon Age 2 having quite a lot to do with the Dark Ritual. As I was playing Dragon Age I couldnt help but to feel like the game was the prologue to something bigger and the Dark Ritual was the set up for the next game.

Of course I could very well be wrong and all we see of the Dark Ritual is a small reference to it in the next game but I really do think there is a lot of potential for a great story if Bioware do decide to follow up on the Dark Ritual storyline.

For Dragon Age 2, I think it would be cool if the dragons do make their triumphant return and you start off as actually a Nevarran dragon hunter. Over the course of the game one of the high dragons actually ascends to be an old god. The darkspawn sense the new "old god" (oxymoronic isn't it) and try to corrupt it into an archdemon so you have to turn from being a dragon hunter to darkspawn hunter and ultimately the savior for the dragons/old god.

Intersting responses everyone. What's really interesting is how many of you seem to want DA2 to abandon the Origins system. Many of you have expressed a desire for a single, defined origin for your character in DA2. I certainly hope the devs aren't reading this as I rather like being able to choose my character's Origin.:happy:

Lol... they are. However, I doubt that they wouldn't give us the opportunity to either import or choose an origin, and so you could just create a char in Origins, then immediately import them into DA2. That system works for Awakening, so it should work for DA2

I hope that it will be a continuation of the characters from Origins(and maybe Awakenings). I think the characters in Origins are too good to simply ignore or pass off with a simple reference.



In terms of location I think Orlais would be a good choice. They're the country that Ferelden has the closest(thought certainly not friendliest) relationship with, and with Morrigan having apparently gone to Orlais it would be a good set-up as well.



I think a good way for the game to start would be the Warden accompanying King Alistair or Queen Anora along with warden Alistair/Loghain(maybe stumbling into a drunk Alistair) on a royal visit to Empress Celene. Some crazy **** happens, and you're off to solve some grand mystery involving darkspawn/old god babies/the Chantry/Alistair's obsession with cheese. You join up with some old friends, meet some new ones, and have good times/bad times.

I'd like for the darkspawn to still be around but be a minor side thing, so I guess I voted for the option thats currently winning. A plot focused on something that isn't a mindless horde would be quite welcome and allow for more opportunities to avoid fighting in the game if you want to.

[MistySun]

Well the darkspawn wasn't completely wiped out in Origins so there could be something to do with darkspawn in it.



But i think it will be more like a humans v humans...ie: Qunari invasion.

[Behindyounow]

Nothing majorly to do with the darkspawn, hopefully. I'm bloody sick of them now. Also, no 'Morrigan and the child' crap as the main storyline. I didn't pick that option, I want my choice to matter in my game.

I voted the political intrigue one, because it seems the most interesting.

IMO, the best part of ASOIAF is the war going on between all the kings, not the Monsters getting closer to Westeros. I can see this ending up being similar.

Somehow I have a feeling that we wont be able to transfer our character from Origins to Dragon Age 2 and for some reason I think there will only be 1 origin story, just because something was in a previous game it isnt a good idea to assume that it will be in the next.

Ah but dont you see the problem with that my good man? Now you want your choices to carry over from Origins and I assume your character to carry over as well right? But in order for your character to carry over you must perform the Dark Ritual otherwise your character will likely be dead (unless Alistair or Loghain take the bullet, can anyone tell me if this can actually happen?). Yet if you dont get to carry over your character from Origins and instead you have to start a new character they might as well make the Dark Ritual canon as your world died with your character.

Bioware might choose not to have multiple origins, but then they would allow us to import our character. Thedas is too varied of a world, and the origins were too popular, to have only one option of race/origin. If they allow us to import, then, as I said before, we can pretty much choose whatever origin we want.

Btw... Alistair and Loghain can die instead of you

I dont know, for some reason I feel Bioware will take a completely different direction with Dragon Age 2 and for some reason I feel like I already know where the story is going to go. Of course I could be wrong and I probably am but I can see a lot of potential for a great game depending on the direction taken.

However I do wonder why the first Dragon Age was called Origins? Is it because of the fact that the game contains different player character origins to choose from or is it because the game was a set up for something bigger? Origins seems like a better name for a prequel or spin off that explains how the events of the first game/movie/whatever came to pass. For instance if you have seen the new Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe, Origins would have been a suitable subtitle. Of course I could be reading more into it and I probably am but it is an interesting thought eh?

I dont want to import my Grey Warden, but that doesn't mean I want some stupid god baby and his cow of a mother being the focus of the game.

And yeah, you can get Loghain or Alistair to die. I got Loghain to do it.

[Loerwyn]

Something less grand, to be honest.

IMHO, Dragon Age was too silly in the scope and size of the choices you could make, and if BioWare continued with huge stories with massive decisions, we could be talking some very poor sequels down the line as they end up spreading the story and game play very thinly to account for all of them. It's the Ultimate Sacrifice debate all over again, but bigger. Instead of just one character coming back from the dead, we could be talking decisions that are *huge* - Such as the end decisions in Awakening.

I would just like to see, for once, a story that isn't about saving the world.

It's can be nice to destroy the world. Refreshing.

This. If anything, there should be more origin choices, not less.

I disagree. Smaller actions can have a bigger impact than larger actions, and instead of saving the world, why not a town, a village, your own kingdom? It doesn't have to be some huge world-sized event with legions upon legions of Conveniently Evil People to be epic.

I'd also prefer a smaller scale story line--and who needs to "save" anything?  Why not have a game that was a little like Orzammar writ large, with one of various factions struggling for power, each with different agendas, none of them especially holy or malevolent.  And please--anywhere but Ferelden.  Give me Tevinter, Antiva or Orlais.

[GuderynAdelmar]

A war between Orlais or the Tevintar and your warden has to decide who he helps. Major battles where your wardens presence and decisions decides the outcome of the battle and even the war.

[b44l]

I would like to see the game take place in Tevinter. It is by far the most interesting of all the places mentioned in the first game IMO. Fighting the next Blight would be highly dissappointing for me. I don't care about importing the warden, but continuing Morrigan's storyline is a must AFAIC since it played such an intricate part in the story. I don't mind saving the world one bit. Let me crush a twisted godchild trying to resurrect the empire of old and I'll be a happy camper.

No I am afraid I am going to have to disagree, with the tone set in Origins just saving some backwater village from destruction just wouldnt do. It would have to be a very important village or threat that if not kept in check or stopped from destroying the villiage it could threaten the world but just saving a small villiage from raiding bandits isnt really my idea of an epic storyline.

However I too am getting a little sick of Bioware's "hero saves the world/galaxy from the big bad evil guys" and it would be nice to see them do something different for a change. What I would really like to see is a story that is more personal to the character you are playing kind of like the stories seen in the Baldur's Gate series, Planescape: Torment and NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer.

What if you ARE the twisted god child?
